To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, ARTHUR B. a citizen of the United States of America, residing-at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have inrotation to the vented certain I new and useful 'Improveinasfi aight course.

This invention relates to signals for automobiles, the object of the invention'being to shown as-an acetylene gas tip 34.reoeiving nected to aflexible hose 36.- This hose, may If desired,. receive a supply of gas from the usual acetylene gas tank of the automobile. A packing; ring--37 isadapte'd to be compressed bya nut 38, to form a about the 1 shaft. 24. Theleft hand end of, the shaft 24 Fig. '2-is rovided with ribs 39 which bearinsideof the pipe;35 so that held-in centered positionand does not interfere with the free approaching vehicle the direction in which it Is intended to turn.

It is a further object--;of the invention to provide a device the character above set forth scription which now follows.

In the accompanyin drawing.Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device, and Fig. 2 is a view partly in front elevation and partly in section ofmy device.

' ike numerals designate corresponding parts in all of the figures of the drawing.

- he drawings show a structure in which the signs are both carried by asingle memher, and in which the signs or signals will be visible at night. This structure comprises assage of the parent that this' third side d For-war or the words Straight .80 ahead without in any we departing from the invention, this being 0 'viously merely amatter'of choice; I From the foregoing description it will be seen that sim leand eflicient means are herein provided or accom lishin at 22 and the invention, but wh' e 'thee ement-s shown and described are well adapted'to serve the are intended it is .purposes for which'ithey th'atthe mventionus not to be understood 1 limited to the precise construction set forth but includes within its purview, such cha as may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

This casing is mounted upon a shaft 24 and turns therewith. This shaft has itsbrackets 25 and 26 designed to be secured claim by screws 2?" to thedash board 28. The shaft 24 carries cranks 29 and 30 to which are connected operating rods Blend 32.

With the parts in the .osition illustrated in Fig. 1, the word Rig-lit would he visi to the occupants of an on-coming vehicle. If the-rod 31- be drawn rearwardly at this time, it will, through the crank 29, turn the 1.
